Sgt. Trey Mason observed a
vehicle traveling on Haphazard Road about 10 miles West of Ferriday around 4
a.m. Sgt. Mason then observed someone from inside the vehicle shine a
spotlight in nearby fields and shoot numerous times at various game.

Sgt. Mason and the CPSO
deputies found numerous firearms along with nine freshly killed rabbits and one
freshly killed deer in the bed of the vehicle.

All four subjects were
charged with taking deer during illegal hours, hunting wild quadrapeds during
illegal hours, hunting from a moving vehicle and taking deer from a public
road. Parker and Martin were also cited for discharging a firearm from a
public road. The subjects were arrested and booked into the Concordia
Parish Jail.

hours brings up to a $950 fine and 120 days in jail. Hunting from a
moving vehicle, discharging a firearm from a public road and hunting wild
quadrupeds during illegal hours each carry between a $250 and $500 fine and up
to 90 days in jail. Taking a deer from a public road carries a $100 to
$350 fine and up to 60 days in jail.
